Education matters amidst any pandemic or outbreak. As citizens of the world, we need to continue pursuing formal education, especially for our children. It is not necessary that we let students go to school and sit to have a class since face-to-face might not be possible in this current situation. As a response, there are many alternatives that can be done-not necessarily just the use of modern technology like gadgets and the internet but even the traditional ways which were used in the past.
Educators and curriculum experts have reviewed the curriculum guide for each course and they have identified the most essential learning competencies which need to be given emphasis in the new modes of learning. These competencies which should be demonstrated by students are the key points of the course.
In the implementation of these revisions in the curriculum, two modes can be used. Students who have stable internet connectivity can do activities, attend lectures, and accomplish examination through online modality. On the other hand, students who prefer the traditional mode can access the learning materials through the printed modules which will be given by the teachers to the parents or guardians; this is a good option for those who encounter problems with power shortage and internet connectivity.
In these ways, education still continues. The future needs the children of today and the only way to have a better tomorrow is to prepare them now. As citizens of the world, we are responsible for promoting education in our own ways, not necessarily in the ways we knew but in new modes that would adhere to the unplanned circumstances.
We will get through this🥰
